DR.. ADAMS IN YOUTH.

To the Editor of the Universalist:
was panied to read of the death OF
Rev. John G. Adams in the paper OF May
14th. 1 remember Mr.. Adams very dis
tinctly when young man, and before
he became preacher. He resided in
Exeter, N. e., and was an active man in
the cause of Universalism. He was one
to obtain Rev. Thomas King, the father
OF Starr King, to preach to the people of
Exeter. Mr.. King being settled at that
time in Portsmouth, N. Fl. Mr.. King
was polished orator, and about the first
Uniyersalist 1 ever listened to. There
was bigotry at that time as well as igno-
rance. Hosea Ballou was to preach in
Portsmouth one Sunday in exchange with
Mr.. King, and John G. Adams invited a
young lad of the place to go with him to
hear Mr.. Ballou and the lad accepted
the invitation. The father OF the young
man was tavern keeper, and his name
was Hall, and the next day the faith
er gave his son a very severe whip.
ping for going to Universalist meeting;
and yet the father was dealing out rum
all the day long to the poor inebriate
that was cursed with an appetite for
strong drink
I have never had an opportunity, or
would have been glad to have talked with
Br. Adams of scenes Of long ago. have
deep reverence for the old soldiers who
have fought SO bravely against bigotry
and error. AS they go down to the grave,
We bless their memory. Ever truly
yours, J.B. OHAMPNKY.

mighty love is driving it along that
line, conscious also of its own perfect
liberty, it goes, and goes, and goes, and
goes forever, perfect law, and perfect
liberty.
"Where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound" However much we may
act the fool, Gods wisdom will for
ever infinitely overmatch our folly.
So it is true, as Whittier so beauti-
fully says:
"Thine erring child may be
Lost to himself, but never lost to Thee. -
There can be no death inside of the
infinite life. There can be no evil in
side of the infinite good. There can be
no "eternal loss" Good, learned, elo-
quent Doctor, stick to your Universal
ism, with the s.ism' knocked out; stick
to the universal truths you so eloquent
ly preach, and you will never contra
dict yourself again; and you will be as
nearly perfect preacher as God often
let's loose on this planet.
DR.. John Hall preached splendid
sermon on the text: s'Sanctify them
through thy truth, thy word is truth" !"
1t is not necessary to give an analysis
of his magnificent sermon. 1t was
grand, broad church, sensible sermon,
such as any congreg alton of Christians,
from the Catholic to the Unitarian,
could have heard with pleasure and
profit. Toward the close he told the
people that it was not necessary for
them to know great deal about theol-
ogy; but it was very important that
the preachers should be we'll posted,
so they would never lead the people
astray.
Very good: only in my humble opin-
ion, a good deal of what the Presby-
terian church teaches and breaches as
theology, is nonsense of high order OF
merit in that line. DR.. Hall proceeded
| to tell the people that the first thing
they must do in order to be saved, was
| to take all their sins and transfer them
to Christ, and take Christ's righteous
ness and transfer it to themselves, as If
we could change characters as we
change coats. No wonder so many peo'
pie fidd it hard work to be Christians
when they are told to do, as the first es'
sential to salvation, what is an absolute
impossibility, thing which the Lore
himself cannot do.
Two splendid preachers preached
two splendid sermons, yet each made
an utterly false assertion, from which
/ I draw the moral, Jesus is the only per
| feet preacher. 'sOle is your Master
even Christ, and all ye are brethren ,

NEW YORK, August s-At Buffalo last
night the Central Labor Union had a red
hol meeting. Among the speakers In

Congressman Farquhar. T. f. Fitzpatrick

George Blair President Sirasser
Of the National Cigarmakcrs Union,
declined to talk on the same plat
form with Blair, and Blairs name was

9 to :. In executive session later this
action was reconsidered and McGlynn
will be allowed 10 talk. President strasser
accused Factory Inspector Franey, one Of
Governor Hills appointees, Of neglect Of

They nearly came TO blows over Mr..
Strasser's assertion that Franey was a
lobbyist.
